From Da Nang/Hoi An: Ba Na Hills & Hoi An Lantern Night Tour

Begin your adventure with a scenic drive through lush countryside on the way to Ba Na Hills, often called “Heaven on Earth,” perched at 1,500 meters above sea level. This famous mountaintop resort offers year-round cool temperatures and a world-renowned cable car ride—holding multiple world records for its length and elevation—gliding past waterfalls and dense rainforest.

At the summit, be greeted by the awe-inspiring Golden Bridge, gracefully held by two giant stone hands emerging from the mountain. Your guide will lead you through the charming French Village, designed in elegant Gothic style, complete with stone towers, European-style cafés, and flower-filled courtyards. Enjoy your complimentary 250ml beer while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Don't miss Le Jardin d'Amour, a romantic garden complex with nine themed areas perfect for unforgettable photos. Adventurous travelers can try the Alpine Coaster or explore Fantasy Park, Vietnam's largest indoor amusement zone with rides, arcade games, and fun for all ages. Around noon, enjoy a delicious international buffet lunch (included if you selected the buffet option when booking) featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese and Western dishes. After approximately six hours of sightseeing, fun, and fresh mountain air, take the cable car down and depart for the next destination.

Around 5:00 PM, arrive in the enchanting town of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved ancient architecture, atmospheric streets, and timeless riverside charm. As the sun sets, Hoi An transforms into a magical world of glowing lanterns, cobblestone alleys, and golden-lit rooftops. Follow your guide through iconic landmarks like the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Fukien Assembly Hall, and centuries-old houses lining the lantern-lit streets.

As night falls, visit the lively Hoi An Night Market, a bustling haven of handmade lanterns, silk scarves, leather goods, and street food delicacies. The highlight of the evening is a peaceful lantern boat ride on the Thu Bon River. Light your own flower-shaped paper lantern, make a wish, and gently release it into the shimmering water—a symbolic and emotional tradition of hope and blessing. Hundreds of flickering lanterns float alongside yours, creating a dreamlike scene reflected in the stillness of the river.
